U.S. President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “two faced” after hearing candid remarks between Trudeau and other leaders during the NATO summit.
It was an unguarded misery-loves-company moment that went viral. It ended with U.S. President Donald Trump taking another personal shot at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, calling him "two-faced."
Normally, royal receptions for visiting dignitaries at Buckingham Palace offer media outlets the video equivalent of wallpaper: boring, harmless. But Tuesday's reception turned into an international incident when video emerged of Trudeau at the reception apparently venting to French President Emmanuel Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson about Trump's unexpected marathon news media availability on Tuesday.
The fuss threatened to overshadow the military alliance's 70th anniversary celebrations in London and appears to have driven another personal wedge between Trudeau and the mercurial Trump.
Trudeau attempted to calm the political storm today, saying that he simply expressed surprise to Macron and Johnson at having to conduct a 30-minute press conference with Trump ahead of their bilateral meeting.
